Stephen King's next writing project has bite, as the master of horror brings his take on vampires to monthly comic books.

Beginning in March 2010, "American Vampire," a new ongoing comic from Vertigo, will be released each month with two stories – one by short story writer Scott Snyder and the other by King himself.
